If your light is hanging feet above your plants, bringing it down closer to the plant will help. If you can hold your hand under it, the plant will be fine just try to avoid it letting it touch it.
but yeah, get a better light. Your "600w" blurple light probably isnt anywhere close to that actual output.
Good LEDs are expensive, if you can handle the heat from it and want to go cheaper, just get an hid light.
Environmental factors are pretty big on growth. They will have issues with too much or too little.

Hard to say when you post a pic smothered in blurple lighting. I use (2) "ONEO Led Grow Light 1000W Full Spectrum Sunlight 3500K White and 660nm Red Added" for a 2x4 tent spaced at 18" above canopy veg/12" bloom, for amazing results on veg, and pre-flower as well so far. Make sure you get full spectrum with smd diode technology, its the latest and greatest, and affordable. Spider Farmer has one that runs about $150.The description i listed is only $89.99 on Amazon and have great reviews, which is why I tried them. Plus it's white light, which is easy on the eyes and makes it easier to diagnose real problems. They do run really warm for LED's is my only complaint, but proper exhaust air above lights fixes that. MH lights are going to get you best growth, if you like having to deal with everything that goes along with that, I prefer sacrificing a tiny extra bit of growth to have the plug and play LED

Yes humidity is important. Google VPD charts on that topic, it will educate you on humidity and plant growth.

I don't know a lot about LED yet but a good quality light you could get is HLG brand. It'll pull the true wattage it says. You could also go with a 315w ceramic metal halide. Depends on what you wanna spend and your electric bill to be

18-20,000 lumens ain't much. You would need 3 of them to equal 400 watt mh and even that is weak.

Just got informed that my plants are autoflower and that they suck!!!
I don’t want to give up on some yields, where can I get good seeds?
I’ll look into getting HPS lights, those seem to help with yields from what I’ve read.
i want to be a awesome grower like you guys
I really appreciate y’alls help

Some people are just very anti auto. Itll get you some bud and make things a bit easier for your first go around.
Try the seed and strain reviews subsection. Picking genetics can be a bit overwhelming.
